Why Strong Reading is Key to Your Child's GCSE Success
Reading isn't just about passing English; it's the key that unlocks your child's entire curriculum. From analysing sources in History to understanding complex questions in Science, strong reading comprehension is vital. Without it, your child might struggle to keep up, which can knock their confidence and limit their options for local colleges and sixth forms after their GCSEs. By strengthening this core skill now, you're giving them the tools they need to succeed in every classroom and open up a world of future opportunities.

Eleanor B
Great first 'getting to know' lesson. Ellie helped Monty warm to the idea of tutoring by tapping nicely into his interests (he said afterwards that he really liked her) . He is positive about having another session next week. It was good that they could discuss his current school book; I think this is going to help him.

Hannah B
Within 5 minutes of specking to Hannah, I knew she was going to be my son’s tutor. She’s personable, passionate and knows her industry inside out. We’ve only had 2 lessons, but I can see the confidence and enjoyment on my son’s face as he’s learning. My son said after his 2nd lesson, ‘Hannah is so calm and I’m really enjoying tutoring’. We are actually so blessed to have found Hannah.

Nic H
Nic is a very experienced teacher who is able to adapt to different children, with an array of tools up her sleeve to keep the child engaged. After every lesson Nic is very good at telling me what they went through and what we should be focusing on. I think I am even learning myself on letter formation!
My daughter is a high functioning autistic person in reception, who needs to close some gaps in her phonics, numbers and handwriting. The leap from reception to year 1 can be difficult and Nic is helping me to get my daughter to a level where she will feel stable with the transition.
I was worried that a 1hr lesson would be too hard for my daughter and that she would not be engaged. My daughter is fully engaged and I am very impressed with what my daughter can achieve in her lesson.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for Stowmarket High School. Can a tutor help with this transition?
Yes, absolutely. A tutor can be a fantastic support during the move to secondary school. They can help strengthen core reading comprehension skills, build your child's confidence, and ensure they feel prepared for the new academic demands across all their subjects.
We're worried weak reading will affect all GCSEs at Stowupland High. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern, and it's where a tutor can make a real difference. They work one-to-one with your child to build their ability to understand and analyse texts, a skill that's vital for History, Science, and even Maths word problems. By improving this foundational skill, they'll be better equipped to succeed across the board.
How do I choose the right Reading tutor for my child?
Think about your child's personality and learning style. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their approach. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to building their confidence.
How much do online Reading tutors cost in Stowmarket?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We're also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, there are no 'silly questions'. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to make mistakes and learn from them, celebrating small wins along the way. This patient, personalised approach helps them feel capable and more positive about their learning.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's reading?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tuition is that it's focused entirely on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. The best way is to have a quick chat with your child's tutor. They can give you regular feedback on what they've been covering in lessons and the progress your child is making towards their goals.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering skills like coding and public speaking, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?
